W. T. Preston preserves a historic sternwheel snagboat at Anacortes’ maritime heritage site.
The vessel’s specialized equipment and shore-side setting help explain the work of keeping Pacific Northwest waterways navigable.
Check the Anacortes Museum’s current seasonal vessel-tour schedule and separate Maritime Heritage Center arrangements before arriving. Exterior viewing does not imply that boarding is available at all times, and historic decks can have physical limitations. The photograph shows the preserved vessel on land rather than an operating passenger cruise.
